Shrug. It was on topic. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 11/06/2011 08:06:16 PM
And I've been killing time for the last day or so until my friends get here for the weekend O<img class=' />



And you still basically agreed with me- that holy water is nothing more than a psychological aid, something to set the tone. Just like incense. Or Muzak.
I amuse myself.

A question on baptism Camilla - 10/06/2011 09:21:44 AM 900 Views
To my knowledge, baptism does not stem from the Resurrection. Ghavrel - 10/06/2011 11:01:17 AM 656 Views

I don't follow. Ghavrel - 10/06/2011 11:08:07 AM 470 Views

I don't keep up with RC theology much. Ghavrel - 10/06/2011 11:15:52 AM 454 Views

They should, IMHO, but the difficulty of definitively saying is why Limbo was created. Joel - 11/06/2011 10:39:26 AM 541 Views

Circumcision remains common among Christians mostly for symbolic reasons as well. Joel - 11/06/2011 10:48:48 AM 545 Views
Hm, I don't know. I don't think I know any non-Jews who are circumsized that see it as a symbol beetnemesis - 11/06/2011 04:44:02 PM 622 Views

He dances and dips in The Ganges- Very Nice. *NM* StarrBecca - 11/06/2011 02:15:41 AM 208 Views

Early Christians and Jews were obsessed with purity Roland00 - 10/06/2011 12:56:58 PM 596 Views
Oh, I know about the historical/academic/anthropological reason Camilla - 10/06/2011 01:04:43 PM 534 Views
I misunderstood, lets try again Roland00 - 10/06/2011 01:44:43 PM 611 Views

Do you want a theological answer or a historical one? Tom - 10/06/2011 03:16:44 PM 629 Views
The theological. I already had a fairly good idea of the historical Camilla - 10/06/2011 03:18:51 PM 502 Views
My favorite fact about baptism is that is REQUIRES water... but it can be ANY water beetnemesis - 10/06/2011 04:31:12 PM 593 Views
That is absurd. Tom - 10/06/2011 08:37:13 PM 687 Views
It is absurd beetnemesis - 10/06/2011 08:56:19 PM 499 Views
When your post is eviscerated, resorting to "HURR RELIGION IS DUMB" isn't a winning move. Ghavrel - 10/06/2011 10:00:39 PM 617 Views
Psh.You can dress it up with spiritualism and semantics, but the concept boils down to "magic water" beetnemesis - 11/06/2011 03:56:03 AM 443 Views
The point is that it's a symbol. Darth_Katie - 11/06/2011 04:45:19 AM 470 Views
I have no problem with water as a symbol beetnemesis - 11/06/2011 04:59:52 AM 541 Views
You are totally missing the point. Darth_Katie - 11/06/2011 02:46:08 PM 622 Views
Which again, is something that sounds nice and spiritual, but doesn't actually make any sense beetnemesis - 11/06/2011 03:46:51 PM 588 Views
your problem is you're trying to apply objective logic to religion LadyLorraine - 11/06/2011 04:13:01 PM 843 Views
I'm not, exactly. Religion has internal logic. For example, certain things are "unclean" beetnemesis - 11/06/2011 04:40:33 PM 488 Views
Beliefs about holy water are internally logical. Darth_Katie - 11/06/2011 07:36:08 PM 530 Views
Shrug. It was on topic. beetnemesis - 11/06/2011 08:06:16 PM 812 Views
The more I read of your posts, the more I think you fundamentally misunderstand religious symbolism. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/06/2011 10:51:17 PM 209 Views
Let me clarify: your statements are absurd. Tom - 10/06/2011 10:14:06 PM 507 Views
Check my response to Ghav for elaboration, but basically, your argument doesn't hold beetnemesis - 11/06/2011 04:00:18 AM 489 Views
You went from saying spit was good to saying "clean water". Tom - 12/06/2011 02:04:26 AM 433 Views
I'm completely consistent. I was just staying away from extremes for conversation's sake. beetnemesis - 12/06/2011 09:02:02 AM 470 Views
No one from a respectable faith thinks of holy water as "magic water". Period. *NM* Tom - 13/06/2011 04:56:53 AM 196 Views
Yes, I KNOW. But it's still TREATED as such. beetnemesis - 13/06/2011 06:28:10 AM 410 Views

I never thought of it in that way, that is why I like this site *NM* Nolan - 12/06/2011 04:26:40 PM 229 Views
Because we are all nuts in our own special ways? *NM* Camilla - 12/06/2011 04:36:03 PM 199 Views
